NIGP 15044: Lath, Wood

NIGP 15044 Lath, Wood is an Item code covering architectural woodwork restoration and specialty wood finishing services that state and local governments procure for facility maintenance and historic preservation across their real estate portfolios. The scope of work encompasses touching up, cleaning, and repairing paneling, handrails, doors, and custom wooden furnishings; removing and stripping previous repair attempts; stain blending; topcoating; and application of protective finishes. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include special-purpose districts managing convention centers, cultural facilities, and stadiums, as well as county purchasing departments. Work requires documented expertise in exotic wood restoration and often mandates professional credentials such as Architectural Woodwork Institute certification.

Events DC posted an RFQ on July 14, 2026 (response due July 13, 2026) for Architectural Woodwork Restoration Services on an as-needed basis across District of Columbia facilities including the Walter E. Washington Convention Center, Carnegie Library at Mt. Vernon Square, and Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium. The scope spans approximately 27,000 square feet of paneling, 2,184 linear feet of handrails, 225 doors, and six desks, with contractors required to maintain minimum five years of documented exotic wood restoration experience and current Architectural Woodwork Institute membership. The base contract runs October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027, with four optional one-year renewals and firm-fixed hourly rates for standard and overtime hours. Events DC allocates preference points for small business enterprises, disadvantaged business enterprises, resident-owned businesses, and veteran-owned businesses, with award to the lowest responsive aggregate price. Recent opportunities under this code are sparse; the broader procurement pattern reflects episodic, specialized demand driven by facility preservation needs rather than regular volume purchasing.
